The Mongolian gerbil brain lies in the anatomy of the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain. In all mammals, there is a special mechanism that compensates for the decreased blood flow to the brain in the case of development of stroke. This mechanism is missing in the gerbil and therefore makes the Mongolian gerbil a unique model for stroke. Dr. Mayevsky adopted the gerbil as a model for stroke and his laboratory uniquely studied the mitochondria in the gerbil brain under various pathophysiological conditions. This book describes the history of the Mongolian gerbil in research, the brain energy metabolism and mitochondrial function and brain real-time monitoring systems used in gerbils, as well as the brain vasculature of the Mongolian gerbil. Further, the book includes chapters on brain multisite recording under brain perturbations, multiparametric responses to brain activation, and the effect of neuroprotectants on the gerbil brain. This is an ideal book for research teams researching stroke and epilepsy.

This book provides conceptual information on the various processes involved in meta-analysis. It examines the importance of meta-analysis for the analyses of clinical data to draw a valid conclusion using suitable software. The initial sections of the book introduce meta-analysis, how to perform a systematic literature review (SLR), quality assessment of studies, extraction, and analysis of data. The subsequent section of the book contains information on advanced topics including, meta-regression, network meta-analysis, issues, mistakes, and future perspectives. In summary, the book provides a statistical method for combining the results of different studies on the same topic and resolving conflicts among studies. This book is written with the intent to allow a wide range of readers including students, researchers, and health care professionals, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and paramedical, and is also helpful for a beginner who would like to do a meta-analysis.

This up-to-date and unique monograph covers the different aspects of pharmaceutical validation, calibration, qualification and documentation. It discusses the various methods and processes under all these heads. It includes eight major sections and exhaustively covers each topic.The book includes interesting and timely topics like the ‘Validation of herbals’ considering the increasing reliance on herbal medicines. It includes a section of validation of dosage forms, which is an essential topic for any pharmaceutical scientist. The chapters provide lucid illustrations, figures, flowcharts and other diagrams to facilitate understanding. A final section on 'expert opinion' provides a rundown about the global scenario to the readers. The book serves as a complete reference material for students, researchers and industry experts in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.

This book provides an overview of Data Monitoring Committees - what was done in the past, what is currently being done, and thoughts on improvements for the future. Previous works focused primarily on large cardiovascular studies (where DMCs originated more than 30 years ago) but updated references are needed that discuss smaller, more flexible studies in areas such as oncology. The authors have attended ~800 DMC meetings from ~200 distinct studies across all areas of clinical studies (oncology, rheumatology, rare diseases, cardiology, immunology, etc.) This wide range of expertise will be used, as well as the expertise that comes from working with virtually every large biotech/pharma and CRO for DMC work. The reader of the book will know when DMCs are needed or helpful, how to form the DMC, how to work with external CROs and with sponsor teams and the DMC to create needed DMC outputs, how the DMC meetings are conducted, and - especially for DMC members - what are considerations within the Closed Session to review safety/efficacy outputs to assess risk/benefit to make appropriate recommendations that protect the patient safety and trial integrity. This is a practical hands-on book on how to decide if a DMC is necessary, how to form the DMC, how to smoothly create the necessary materials for the DMC and have smooth running DMC meetings. There is no specialized training in school about how DMCs work - frequently people may have been in industry for many years without ever needing to work with a DMC. This book is the helpful reference for those new to these DMCs. The DMC work is critical to be correctly implemented as the implications of it are so great. This book provides the following: Thorough instructions on the steps needed to form and implement a Data Monitoring Committee for clinical trial evaluation; Includes practical and hands-on information on DMC implementation; Discusses a wide range of clinical trial – by phase and therapeutic area.
